Taylor Kitsch could be returning to HBO.
The “True Detective” Season 2 star is attached to star in and executive produce a drama series currently in development at the premium cabler, Variety has learned.
In the untitled project, Kitsch would play Chris Klug, a young, family-oriented, drug dealer who catches the wrong end of a bad batch of dope that leaves him in a temporary vegetative state. He discovers that it was no accident and someone close to him was in fact trying to take him out. The story will be told through flashbacks and Chris’ present-day purgatory.
The series hails from creator John Barcheski, who will serve as writer and executive producer along with Robert Munic. Munic will also serve as showrunner. Matt Shakman is attached to direct and executive produce. The series is a co-production between HBO and eOne.
